The QBS Express: Official Podcast of ACEC of Kansas How can life take you from a small farming town in Ohio, with no money for college, to two combat tours in Vietnam, intelligence work across the Middle East, and a career that spans three decades of distinguished military service? That's the question at the heart of this conversation with Fred D. Reynolds, Ph.D., Colonel USArmy(ret.) — a West Point graduate, Army Ranger, combat engineer, and military intelligence officer whose story is as remarkable as his resume. Fred shares how a high school counselor's offhand suggestion ("West Point is free") set off a chain of improbable events that would shape everything that followed. From clearing live 750-pound bombs in the A Shau Valley to memorizing Russian aircraft tail numbers on the streets of Damascus, our first part of Fred's journey is a masterclass in trusting the path, doing the work, and leading from the front. And did we mention he went on to do amazing things as a consulting engineer?! Episode #36 of the QBS Express is available now!
